About Arms.

The human arm plays very important
part in the drama of life. A lady who can
boast of a pretty arm is not apt to conceal
the fact to any great extent. Mans natural
weapon of defense and offense, is his strong

DIED IN A BATH ROOM.
Sudden Death of Octavus Cohen--The
Circumstances.

Mr.. Octavus Cohen, of the firm Of o. Cohen
& Co., one Of the oldest and most respected
commercial houses in Savannah, was found
dead in the bath room at his residence, at
Drayton and Harris streets, yesterday morn
ing, by colored servant.
Mr.. Cohens family is in Nash
vile, and he was living by
himself aud taking his meals at his mothers,
across the street. He did not 90 to break
fast Yesterday morning, and, thinking that
he had oversight, a servant was sent to wake
him. He was not in his room, and the
woman went TO the bath room, where she
found him lying on the floor, With only his
underclothes on. She called for assistance,
and DR.. Houston was summoned. Later
Drs Duncan and Martin went TO him, and
the three physicians used every effort
to re-establish the action of the heart,
but though the body was still
warm, Mr.. Cohen was dead.
He had suffered a great deal from headache,
and derived his only relief from the use OF
chloroform.
A bottle of the drug was found
in his bedroom, and it is the theory of the
physicians that he had used it TO relieve his
suffering and then went INTO the bath room
to take his usual morning bath. AS 1t was
before daylight. he started to light the gas,
but after he turned it on and before he APP
plid the match the chloroform stopped the
action of his heart and he fell.
Mrs. Cohen is i'll Nashville with her little
daughter, who is now lying i'll critical con-
dltion with typhoid fever. She was imme-
diately notified of her husbands death.
Mr.. Cohen was IS years old, and was the
son of Octavus Cohen, Sr., who was one of
Savannah's most prominent citizens.

Mr.. wHATLBY's EXPLANATION.

He Has Word to Say About the APP
pearance of His Name to the Bacon
CARO-.
Editor Morning NeiUS: As my name APP
pears to a card in your paper of yesterday
beg space in your columns 10 say that
have never conversed with Dr. Leonard W.
Bacon upon the matters TO which the caad
refers, but was guided, in signing it, by the
statements of others whose names We're upon
it, and who assured me that they had seen
him and conversed with him. Further
more, | have not advocated extending a
permanent call to DIR. Bacon al this time
and SO expressed myself few days ago Mt a
meeting Of his friends The objection which
urged upon that occasion was the fer
mented and irritated condition of the
church. But l have favored, and do favor,
his being retained here for time, at least
until his congregation may know him better,
and that he and they, if II be possible, may
come to a more perfect understanding.
This seems to be due TO him and to his
friends.
Having explained my position toward DR..
Bacon, | will further state that |, with a
great many Others, exceedingly deplore the
advertisement in the EreRing Times of
this city, coming as il does from such n
man as Col. I. II. Harden, for whom have
the profoundest respect and esteem. The
Enquiries which Col. Harden propounds
to DR.. Bacon are degrading in the last de-
gree, not only to him aud his family, but to
the pulpit which he occupies, and the in
formation, if sought, should have been OBJ
tanned in private and more delicate way.
] cannot but believe, therefore, that Col.
Harden acted without proper consideration
of Il matter of such grave Importance to all
concerned. Very respectfully,
j. u WHATLEY.

Policeman Townsend's Experience
with an nOyarcnman Stranper

Policeman Townsend's Experience
with an Overcome" Stranger.
A drayman who had been feeding his
team left lot of hay in the gutter on Bull
street, between Congress and Broughton
streets, yesterday afternoon. A few minutes
later man fresh from his cups came stag
gering along Bull street trying to see just
how much of sidewalk one individual
could occupy. When he reached the lane
he caught sight of the pile of hay. 1t at
tracted his attention. He leaned up against
the house and gazed at it. Then
was bee line for it, After
following a serpentine path he crossed the
sidewalk and fondly embraced a friendly
post. Again his eyes wandered toward the
pile. He looked at it tixedly for moment,
then seraphic smile overspread his coun-
tenance, and with the utmost deliberation,
he laid himself down upon it and sunk into
a heavy sleep. He was supremely happy
until Policeman Townsend came along and
reused him. With the aid of passer-by,
the officer got him TO Wright square, when
he laid down again. The policeman sum
moned a cart and tried TO get him to walk TO
it, but he would not. His arms were then
made to do duty as tow lines, and he was
dragged to the conveyance. En- route he
was heard to mutter:
Drag me long. Don make no difference
if you wear holes in my pants. Drag me
long. I'm Irish and don Care who knows
it."
He was gently placed in the cart, and
Policeman Townsend sat on him to hold him
down while he was driven to the barracks.
He said his name was Joe Haley, and lie
proposed that it should remain Joe Haley
whether they locked him up or no.

There was rumor afioat few days ago
that this new street railway, which is to go
to the Central railroad wharf and through
the CITY, was to be run by cable, like the Chi
cago street railway. This would probably
cost more money in the start, but would
prove more profitable in the long run, as so
many more trips could be made in day,
and parties having important business to at
tend to at the Central railroad wharf, could
get there in very little time. Just the
same at Appel & Schaul's. tue One Price

She cOnfided to her female friends that every

to the gloves and hose, and added that she
would wear lace boots if it wasn't 50 chilly.
She explained that one Of her daughters is

could not take it from her. 1t is estimated
that the fair and matronly one was draped

TEE NEW CITY MAP.

Time

To be Ready for Publication in Short
Time.
The work on the new city map, the publ
cation of which was authorized by the City
Council at its last meeting, is being pushed,
and the map will be ready for the pub
fishers inside of six weeks.
1t takes more time than most
people think to make a map,
and very few have an idea of the amount of
work necessary to be done in order to pro-
duce a map Of city like Savannah. The
growth of the city, the addition of the
southern extension and the many changes
which have taken place since the last
map was published over twenty years ago,
render it almost necessity that the new
map should be made.
The work Is being done under
the supervision of City Surveyor
Howard. The new map viii be somewhat
smaller than the old one, the scale being
400 feet to the inch, while the scale of the
old map was 500 feet to the inch. Alder
man Thomas and the members of the Street
and Lane Committee, under whose direction
the map is being made, have recognized for
a long time the necessity for it, and just as
soon as the Council authorized the work it
was begun

to Meet Next Week.
The City Council will meet early next
week as a committee of the whole to con-
slider the Street and Lane Committee re-
port upon the paving question. The COM
mittee would have met this week, but it
decided to await the return of Alderman
Wells, who will he here probably on Mon
day. Ii possible a report will be made TO
Council at its next meeting.
IT is necessary 70 take the matter IN hand
Immediately If any paving other than that
already under contract is done this season.
The Congress street contract has already
been let to the same parties who laid the
Broughton street paving, and work was TO
have been commenced before now, but it
has been deferred until Jan. |. The Con
gress street pavement will be of asphalt the
same as Broughton street, and 1t
will be laid from Drayton street
TO West Broad. The work OF lay
ing the new water mains between
Whitaker and Abercorn streets, viii begin
right after Christmas. Under the contract
the work will be completed in two months
after it is commenced.
In the meantime the city will decide what
other streets it will pave and the work can
be let at once The Street and Lane Com
mittee reported in favor of paving the north
half of Liberty street. The question has
arisen whether property owners whose
property is ON the south side of the street
will have to pay for the paving of the north
side Under the law they will have to
pay their portion of the cost of the
work the same as if the pavement
extended the entire width of the street
Then when the south side is paved property
owners on the north side of the street will
be assessed their share of the cost of the inn
provement.
Whether the Council will see fit to pave
Liberty street at all, or what streets it will
pave will be settled when the committee of
the whole makes its report.
